I recently sold my 99 Autobiography to a fellow who was looking for a cheap 4x4 as he lives in a hilly area. The car was in very good condition inside and out. He also liked the roof rack which could carry his kayak. I had bought this car to take off the factory Warn winch installation and swap...

I recently completed a 10,176km road trip through northern BC, the Yukon and Northwest Territories all the way to Tuktoyaktuk. I have a lot of photos on my phone and on my Canon. I can download them to my desktop and put them in one file OK but I don't know how I can arrange them in my...

As mentioned in another thread, I purchased an 08 LR3 with the 4.4 V8 and had to replace the black plastic assembly that attaches to the block. I also installed a new coolant level sensor as I had been getting Low Coolant warnings for no reason. Well I am still getting low coolant warnings but...

About 2 months ago a bought an 08 LR3 with 165k km to replace my 99 P38 for offroading. This car has the 4.4 V8. For a while I had been smelling coolant in the engine compartment. Monitoring coolant levels they never went down, there were no drips, and a look inside revealed nothing obvious so...

Installed anTerrafirma swing away tire carrier on my 2008 LR3. What load of BS. These may fit an LR4 without issue but not my LR3. Problem 1: the template you use to cut a rectangular hole in the vertical face of the bumper for the latching piece to poke through is wrong. The spot marked to...

Finally installed my factory winch , brush guard and driving lights. Was a bit of a puzzle as to what to fit first. Turned out we had to install the bumper and brush guard first. The two bolts on each side that hold the crush cans in place were pushed through from the inside of the frame to just...

According to the owners manual I managed to find online I am supposed to be able to fold the outside mirrors of my 2008 LR3 by centreing the mirror adjustment knob and then pushing it downwards. Nothing happens when I do this. The knob does adjust the position of the mirrors and I can push it...

So I have decided to upgrade from P38 to LR3. I managed to find a very clean 2008 with premium leather, premium sound and the cold climate package. Everything seems to work fine and I am generally pleased except for one thing: the fob is dead. I am annoyed that the used car dealer did not make...

Today I looked at a 2007 D3/LR3 with the intent to purchase however I am not sure the locking rear diff is working correctly. I have no experience with these so need advice before purchase. Driving around a parking lot in low range I could hear and feel the rear diff seemingly locking up but...

Title says it all. If I try to post a photo I get the following error message. This never happened at any time in the past. "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.". Please fix this.

My brother was backing up to a loading dock in his 109 station wagon to pick up his new exercise treadmill when he accidentally backed into a concrete barrier. Put a pretty big dent in his left rear bumper but the worst thing is he shattered his diff. Spider gear lying at the bottom and ring...

I had a compressor that would only run if the orange wire was shorted to ground. I bought a couple of thermal switches so decided yesterday to open it up and change out the one there. Took the end plate off and checked thermal switch with multimeter and it was fine. Hmmm. Looked at ground point...

Went out yesterday with the intention of tweaking my EAS settings but noticed after a few minutes that my tach and speedo had stopped working. Then I got an ABS and TC warning on the dash, four lights on the EAS control switch and the car seemed to be stuck in one of the higher gears. Windows...

Merry Christmas to all LandyZone Land Rover enthusiasts from a snowy Chilliwack, BC. It is not often that we have snow on Christmas but this year is an exception and the coming week is supposed to be an unusually cold -10C at night. Hope everyone is making the best of another compromised...

My club, The RoverLanders of BC, completed a 2 night, 3 day, loop around Anderson and Carpenter Lakes in the area West of Pemberton BC. Easy driving on pretty well maintained gravel roads so no challenges other than the possibility of burning out your brakes coming down some sections. Just...

My brother got ambitious and in spite of the heat decided to paint his 109 Station Wagon he bought last year. He sanded it down with a random orbital sander and used paint stripper in some places where the paint was especially thick. Then used a 4 inch foam roller to roll on 2 coats of SEM self...

I know the UK cars do not have the Secondary Air Injection system but thought I would post this for us NA readers who are plagued by this system. Yesterday I decided to try and get rid of that "check engine soon" message which my Hawkeye Total said was due to my SAI not working on either bank...

Saw this Defender twice this month.

Recently there was a query about the dongles that you need to enable you to get full use out of your now discontinued Hawkeye or Hawkeye Total. I bought a Total a while ago as it will work on my P38 and my L322. Luckily I bought all the dongles for both that I figured I would need. So I took the...

Well I finally did it. Left my fob in my pants pocket when washing a load of clothes. Found it sitting by itself when taking the clothes out to dry. Went out side and tried it (yes, silly me, I should have dried it first) and it did not work. Opened the car with the key and the engine disabled...
